Used as a key chiral building block in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals where stereochemistry plays a critical role in drug efficacy. Its strained cyclopropane ring and fluorine substituents enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity in medicinal agents. Commonly employed in the development of antiviral and anticancer drugs, as well as in agrochemicals for improving potency and selectivity. The carboxylic acid functionality allows for easy derivatization, enabling incorporation into larger molecules via amide or ester formation.
